Simple Gifts is a 1995 folk album featuring Shaker chants and spirituals performed by members of the Shaker community at Sabbathday Lake, Maine, alongside Joel Cohen and his ensemble. The recordings draw from archived melodies transcribed during extensive research as well as songs preserved through the memories of resident Shakers, presenting traditional pieces that reflect the spiritual and communal heritage of the sect.

Released on Alliance Records, this CD contains two suites: “Followers Of The Lamb” and “Bearing The Cross,” with tracks including “Come Life, Shaker Life,” “Mother Ann’s Song,” and “Virgins Clothed In A Clean White Garment.” Add this used copy to your collection and experience authentic American folk traditions.
